@𝕕𝕚𝕒𝕟𝕒 𝓬𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓻𝔂 🏳️⚧️🦋 all AI scanning occurs server‑side on the cloud infrastructure, not on your computer. Your OS does not affect the scanning, so any file uploaded to OneDrive will be processed.
Unfortunately professional cloud hosting isn't easy to replace. MS knows that and imposes those shameless limitations.
If you (like me) really can't tolerate AI you can transition to ownCloud or Nextcloud, but I warmly recommend to setup LAN self-hosting backed up by RAID and UPS.

And also offsite backups; RAID is not a backup.
@Andrew Pamit depends on the purpose of your personal cloud. Normally you would need a NAS, especially if the LAN is large, but this setup offers a cheaper alternative using FOSS.
RAID + UPS are there only to guarantee the availability of the cloud system: RAID offers the automatic usage of backup drives to restore data corruption; UPS offers a backup power source to ensure both the router and the cloud system stay online.
If you keep non-transient data (eg. the cloud contains personal files) you also need to setup automated backups with borg + cron on a external drive which is not part of the RAID.
If all data is transient (eg. the cloud is used only for app ↔ app communication or reproducible data), full backups aren't necessary and you can just take fs snapshots before each system upgrade.
Bottom line: RAID + UPS keep the cloud service running; snapshots protect short‑lived or reproducible state; automated backups are essential only for user data. 👋
